The New York Knicks are one of the glamour franchises in the NBA with the allure of Madison Square Garden. However, the team hasn’t been very good lately and went just 32-50 last season. Carmelo Anthony isn’t the same player that he used to be and rookie Kristaps Porzingis could only do so much. With the NBA Draft coming up on June 23, the Knicks will be looking to find another young player to add to their aging roster.
The Knicks have just four players under contract for the 2016-17 season and were one of the worst offensive teams in the whole NBA even with Anthony on the roster. Arron Afflalo was third on the team in scoring but has a player option for the upcoming season and may want to leave New York. Derrick Williams has also shown an interest in free agency.
Update: OK obviously after the Derrick Rose trade this post has to be updated. We’re working on that now. We’ll leave the lead image, though, because Robin Lopez was my favorite player on the team last year and this is my website.
A major problem that the Knicks have is that they don’t have a single draft pick in 2016. This really hurts the team’s chances of improving with the huge salary of Anthony holding them down.
Another major problem they have is now that they’ve traded away Robin Lopez (arguably the best center on the team in years), they don’t have a starting center.
